Description
Please watch in full size, it looks better. Thanks!
This is the second in the series. Here's the link to the first:
These two images are dedicated to all those who had to grow up without a father or a mother.
Note: there is what I believe to be an obvous link between the two images but I thought I'd mention it anyway. You'll notice that the trees in both images are the same, meaning the forest is the same. The path links the two places. In the first image the sun was high in the sky, now it's sunset. This sequence tells a story: the child survived the forest dangers and he arrived to spend the night in the arms of his stone mother. As to the symbolism behind the similarity in shape and orientation between the clouds and the scarf in her hands, on one side, and, on the other side, the similarity of colors between the scarf and the boys clothes, that I'll leave for you to think.
Thanks for watching!

Very nice, like how the stone hair is flowing just like the scarf, since its sunset it seems a bit windy for the scarf to flow quite so much tho. The general idea of a living child and parents of stone is rather interesting, a bit of "parents stay the same" feeling.
